What to do if you are allergic to flowers and plants

Allergy is a common disease in which the human body produces an abnormal response to certain allergens, and plant allergy is a respiratory allergic disease. Flower and plant allergies are mainly caused by the human body inhaling pollen or odors that cause allergies. It is mainly a seasonal allergy because flower and plant allergies are greatly related to weather conditions. The weather will affect the probability of flower and plant allergies. So if you are allergic to flowers and plants, what measures should you take to treat it?

1. Do not stay outdoors for a long time

Try to spend as little time outdoors as possible during the day, especially during times of the day when pollen levels are high, such as in the evening on sunny days. When doing outdoor activities and various sports, try to choose times when the pollen index is lowest, such as early morning, late at night, or after a shower. People with a history of allergies should try to avoid places with lush flowers, plants and trees, and should not smell flowers and plants casually.

2. Wear a hat and mask when going out

On days when pollen is flying heavily, you should remember to wear a hat when going out. It is best to choose a fiber hat that pollen is difficult to adhere to. In addition, for patients with pollen allergies, masks are also an essential equipment when going out. It is best to choose masks with strong protection and breathability. You should also remember to clean the mask in time after returning home.

3. Eat more carrots

The beta-carotene in it can effectively prevent allergic reactions such as pollen allergies and allergic dermatitis. It is reported that beta-carotene can regulate the balance within cells and stop people from having allergic reactions.

4. Pay attention to cleaning your hair

When it comes to preventing allergies, many people often forget that their hair is the "hardest hit area" for pollen to attach. Pollen can easily attach to the hair due to the static electricity on the hair. People can easily bring pollen into the house when they enter the house. If they go to bed without washing their hair, pollen can easily attach to the bedding. Therefore, people should pay more attention to their hair to prevent pollen allergies.

5. Prepare desensitization drugs

If you need to go out, be sure to prepare desensitization drugs, such as astemizole, chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, etc. If you experience itchy skin, fever, cough, or shortness of breath, you should leave the place quickly. If the symptoms are mild, you can take diphenhydramine, astemizole, or chlorpheniramine orally. If you experience more serious allergic symptoms, go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Do not underestimate the harm caused by allergies.
